How would you explain a return to lender to a student, (if student is out of attendance)?

Federal financial aid funds are disbursed to a student under the assumption that he or she will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance was awarded. When a student graduates or is considered withdrawn from the University, Student Financial Services-Operations (SFS-O) is required to perform a R2T4 calculation. The calculation determines the amount of financial aid a student earned during their payment period.
